This guy is fast-becoming the Arsene Wenger of US politics. Is there anything that he DOES see?

I think I would have to leave. Not just my seat, but my whole job/career!

A check (or cheque, as we would say over here)? Do people still even use them?!

I can remember an interview in 2001 with a senior GM engineer and he told me that the company would have one million FCVs on the road within 10 years.

I admired the optimism, but almost knew it was a complete pipe dream.

Not that it means a thing, but didn't be promise to "repeal and replace" Obamacare back in 2016?

Nearly a decade later...

I know it's not the main point, but why does he switch from the 'Southern' pronunciation of 'Mastermind' to the 'Northern' one at the end?

Regardless of that, what an insufferable berk.

It's also the war he said he'd end on "Day One".

So the windows don't open, but you have to be *really* strong to open them because they weigh "600lbs"? And AI has been around since Trump was "a baby"?

OK then...

Again, he must've done a remarkable job if he achieved an improvement on the season before when the team was 'playing with no confidence'

Me? I'm going to enjoy the rest of the season that you have, by the sound of it, given up on πŸ‘πŸΌ

Yep. Backwards all the way to 8th place last season from 11th in the season RDZ threw his toys out of the pram.

Ah, I missed the 1970s reference in the first post.

And I never knew that about the GH theme tune. But I bet Give Us a Clue didn't have a sausage in the titles πŸ˜‚

Some great choices in there, but I would definitely have to include Grange Hill - and possibly Jossy's Giants - in mine.

It is. The original meme (not sure if his words or not) is 'Utter Woke Nonsense'.

AI really is the grift that keeps on giving.

This video really IS #FakeNews - and I can't quite believe how so many people fall for it!

I was in NYC for four days the other week and didn't see any evidence of crime at all. In fact, the only sirens we saw/heard were from fire trucks.

Thanks for the tip, Alex. There have been a few other user (un)friendly changes made by WT recently that got me searching for alternatives, but I wasn't aware of Swiss Transfer. Always good to have options πŸ‘πŸΌ

The TMS crew weren't too keen on that scenario. "Never change a winning team" and "He's only played one game" being part of their argument against it...
